The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4360

"Papa~"

Auralia ran up to Ves, who subsequently lifted up his playful little girl.

"Who's a good girl? Who has been a good girl today?"

"Meeeee!" His first daughter giggled and insisted!

The proud father showered his daughter with kisses and continued to cuddle with her for a while.

Work eventually took priority though, so he reluctantly put her down and sent her off to the other kids who were playing with animated beast dolls.

"Wooosh! Raawrr! My dragon is the strongest!" Marvaine exclaimed as he lifted up a cute and squishy cartoon dragon.

The toy flapped its wings and released harmless vapor from its maw in a failed attempt to look ferocious.

"Nuh uh, my phase whale is stronger!" Kirian Larkinson insisted!

Joshua and Ketis' son threw up a baby blue whale toy in the air. The chubby and adorable phase whale proceeded to fly and flip around before ending back in its owner's hands.

The girls were having a good time as well. They brought their own animated plushies and proceeded to hold a tea party for them at a little table.

Mayra Larkinson, Kirian's younger sister, hosted the tea party and commanded her astral beast toy to grab the pot with its massive mouth and pour a bit of tea in everyone's tiny cup.

"This is for you, this is for you and this is for you, hihi!"

Meanwhile, Lucky was lying on the deck while groaning in pain. Weeks had gone by as the gem cat still hadn't been able to digest everything he had eaten during his trip to the surface of Pima Prime V.

"Meooww… meooow… meoowww…"

Though his pain had toned down to an extent, the cat's internals still needed to work overtime to process a huge amount of raw and refined materials!

"Miaow~"

Clixie laid by Lucky's side and kept watch over him while swishing her slender tail. The Rubarthan Sentinel Cat occasionally leaned forward to lick Lucky's face, but otherwise did nothing at all to help the mechanical cat cope with his ordeal.

The surroundings briefly lit up as Goldie suddenly materialized above Lucky. The ancestral spirit curiously sniffed and poked her 'father', only to find out once again that she could do nothing to soften the pain.

Nyaaaaaa.

"Miaow!"

Goldie soon became preoccupied with other matters as Clixie exerted her small but growing spirituality before pouncing on her 'daughter'!

Soon, the two cats began to play and wrestle against each other while completely disregarding the suffering compatriot!

Ves swept his glance across the entire compartment. The entire observation center seemingly turned into a daycare center today. Ketis originally wanted to conduct an initial test of the reformed plasma sword.

She had worked long hours to undo certain additions, reduce the length of the blade, rework a lot of complicated electrical components and modify the shape of the grip to better accommodate the hands of the Everchanger.

However, she hadn't been spending enough time with her kids as of late, so she decided to bring them along so that she could keep a closer eye on them. Ves happened to bring his own kids along, which gave them an opportunity to play with each other.

"Are you excited today?" Ves asked the woman who was fiddling with a control panel.

"I am." Ketis replied with a smile. "I made sure to preserve as much of the power of the Scarlet Ember while toning down its excessive energy consumption. I am certain that I have struck a good balance with the weapon. This test should make it clear that the Everchanger doesn't have to resort to an oversized mounted wargear loadout in order to slay other expert mechs."

The swordmaster had registered a new name for the plasma sword, thereby marking it as a weapon of the Larkinson Clan as opposed to the Gauge Dynasty.

It took a few more minutes for the focal point of this testing session to emerge in space. The Everchanger piloted by Venerable Joshua easily flew into space while wielding its rifle as well as its new high-tech sword in its hands.

While the Larkinsons had no intentions of testing the Vitalus rifle today, the Everchanger still held it in one of its hands to see how well the expert mech was able to handle its weapon under realistic conditions.

Ketis had paid great attention to trying to match the mass, dimensions and balance of the plasma sword as closely to the Heartsword as she could. Though she didn't always succeed in her aim, she had done just enough for Joshua to quickly adjust to the characteristics of his new weapon.

Currently, the plasma sword was in its deactivated state, which meant that it currently looked like a dull metal rod. The weapon hardly exuded any threat in its inactive state.

That soon changed as Venerable Joshua activated the sword. The Everchanger soon experienced an additional power draw as a dangerous red plasma edge appeared along the length of the metal rod.

The Scarlet Ember was finally ready for business.

"How is your mech doing, Joshua?" Ketis asked her husband over the communication channel.

"The Everchanger is doing fine so far. It can handle the load. It's not much different from firing my luminar crystal rifle."

"That is good to hear. Please keep in mind that the Scarlet Ember might demand more out of your expert mech over the course of this testing session."

"I know, Ketis."

"Let's start by putting you and your mech up against a series of practice targets."

Dozens of target dummies appeared into space.

Most practice targets were made out of salvaged remains of mechs, and this time was no different. The Larkinsons had specifically used up a lot of debris from the previous battle to create target dummies that featured comparable defensive properties to actual mechs.

Of course, the mixed material composition of the dummies also caused them to look like trash. No one bothered to homogenize their exteriors or apply a coating to their surfaces because they were all destined to perish anyway.
